Geeeeeeeee....

One FK fishing wessel stranded in Senegal with Covid19...

Another FK fishing wessel stranded in Brasil with Covid19...

Yet another FK fishing wessel stranded in Uruguay with Covid19...

And the little luxury cruiseship “Island Sky” moored for days on end at Puerto Estanley without any apparent reason...

How do you Think it's going with all them fine reassurances about Covid19 “Control & Responsibility” from them economically involved actors..., Kelpers...?

Oh dear. I THINK you are making things up once again. Island Sky is here for a reason and its nothing to do with Covid 19 ;) . What a silly Argie you are making up stories chuckle chuckle.

3 vessels out a fleet of around 40 trawlers, I think its going pretty well considering how easily the virus spreads and for moving almost 1 thousand people around the world.

Maybe mind your own business....... capisce?

Who said anything 'bout the Island Sky and Covid19...? Certainly not this Argie... ;-)

Three (3) vessels out a fleet of around 40 trawlers stranded in foreign ports... the remaining 37 stranded in Vigo... :-)

Good thing the few Korean and Taiwanese trawlers that already have reached them windblown Isles are 100% guaranteed free of Covid19..., right...?

Capisce...?

haha they are not stranded in Vigo, theyare heading south and almost in the islands silly Argie. Season starts in a few weeks

Yep, Jiggers so far Covid free.

You hinted at Island Sky having Covid. Nothing to do with that. Its here for a perfectly normal reason chuckle chuckle.

Seems you like to invent stories and not do any research chuckle chuckle

Now get your facts right

CAPISCE?

Well..., well..., well...

1) “Marinetraffic.com” is quite a helpful tool to find out where them FK trawlers are at any given moment...:-)))

2) Quite a big stormfront is being blown up just now by the Spanish Fishermen's Union against the irresponsible Fishing Companies operating in the South Atlantic..., accused of hiding information about the many infected vessels...:

3) About my supposed “hint”..., this humble Argie is just wondering why a very expensivo luxury cruiseship as the “Island Sky” is moored for days on end at Puerto Estanley without any apparent reason...
Maybe they have run out of fuel oil...?

Chuckle..., chuckle...

1) No vessel is being held in Vigo. Any till there are waiting for the season to start. Loligo fleet heading south

2) No big deal. Only 3 vessels

3) Nope, nothing to do with fuel. Nothing to do with oil. Guess again Argie

Now. Get your facts right.

They aren't being held in Vigo. They just don't need to depart yet. The loligo fact is heading south. FACT. One vessel is already here. FACT. Island Sky is here to pick up BAS crew to take them to South Georgia once they complete their 2 week quarantine. FACT.

I THINK you need to get your FACTS right before sounding off Argie

Capisce?
